Remember that they\u2019ll separate more easily when they\u2019re cold. (If you need a use for the egg whites, try a batch of <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeorbreak.com\/2022\/12\/coconut-macaroons\/\">coconut macaroons<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeorbreak.com\/2024\/05\/financiers\/\">financiers<\/a>.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t over-bake.<\/strong>\u00a0The centers should still be soft when you take them out of the oven. Baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven, so you may want to check for doneness a minute or so early the first time you make them. Gently tap the ramekin\u2014if the edges look set but the center jiggles slightly, it\u2019s ready.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Work quickly.<\/strong>\u00a0Once baked, lava cakes should be served immediately to maintain their molten center.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Test one first.<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re unsure about baking time, bake one cake first to get the timing just right.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-description=\"Learn how to make restaurant-quality chocolate lava cakes at home!

Cover them tightly with plastic wrap or place them in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Reheat in the microwave for about 10 seconds before serving.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freeze for later:<\/strong>\u00a0Unbaked batter can be stored in the ramekins and frozen for up to one month. Before freezing, cover each ramekin tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. For extra protection, place the covered ramekins in an airtight container. When ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap, place the ramekins on a baking sheet, and bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the bake time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"featured-posts-block   has-white-background-color has-background\">\n<h2>More Chocolate Cake Recipes<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-description=\"Learn how to make restaurant-quality chocolate lava cakes at home!
